Nanoalignment by Critical Casimir Torques
Gan Wang, Piotr Nowakowski, Nima Farahmand Bafi +7
The manipulation of microscopic objects requires precise and controllable forces and torques. Recent advances have led to the use of critical Casimir forces as a powerful tool, whi…
Playing with Active Matter
Angelo Barona Balda, Aykut Argun, Agnese Callegari +1
In the last 20 years, active matter has been a very successful research field, bridging the fundamental physics of nonequilibrium thermodynamics with applications in robotics, biol…
Effect of colloidal weight at different planar interfaces
Mehdi Shaffei Aporvari, Agnese Callegari, Emine Ulku Saritas
In many physical and biological systems, particles and microorganisms move in the proximity of an interface. Understanding the dynamics of a particle suspended close to an interfac…
Tunable critical Casimir forces counteract Casimir-Lifshitz attraction
Falko Schmidt, Agnese Callegari, Abdallah Daddi-Moussa-Ider +7
Casimir forces in quantum electrodynamics emerge between microscopic metallic objects because of the confinement of the vacuum electromagnetic fluctuations occurring even at zero t…
Optical trapping and critical Casimir forces
Agnese Callegari, Alessandro Magazzù, Andrea Gambassi +1
Critical Casimir forces emerge between objects, such as colloidal particles, whenever their surfaces spatially confine the fluctuations of the order parameter of a critical liquid…
Ordering of Binary Colloidal Crystals by Random Potentials
Andre S. Nunes, Sabareesh K. P. Velu, Iryna Kasianiuk +6
Structural defects are ubiquitous in condensed matter, and not always a nuisance. For example, they underlie phenomena such as Anderson localization and hyperuniformity, and they a…
Clustering of Janus Particles in Optical Potential Driven by Hydrodynamic Fluxes
S. Masoumeh Mousavi, Sabareesh K. P. Velu, Agnese Callegari +2
Self-organisation is driven by the interactions between the individual components of a system mediated by the environment, and is one of the most important strategies used by many…
Active Matter Alters the Growth Dynamics of Coffee Rings
Tugba Andac, Pascal Weigmann, Sabareesh K. P. Velu +4
How particles are deposited at the edge of evaporating droplets, i.e. the {\em coffee ring} effect, plays a crucial role in phenomena as diverse as thin-film deposition, self-assem…
Microscopic Engine Powered by Critical Demixing
Falko Schmidt, Alessandro Magazzu, Agnese Callegari +3
By converting energy into mechanical work, engines play a central role in most biological and technological processes. In particular, within the current trend towards the developme…
Nonadditivity of Critical Casimir Forces
Sathyanarayana Paladugu, Agnese Callegari, Yazgan Tuna +4
In soft and condensed matter physics, effective interactions often emerge as a result of the spatial confinement of a fluctuating field. For instance, microscopic particles in a bi…
